'A recipe to succeed' but a 'long, long way to go' - fans on changing ambitions
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on when you believe Hull City can start looking beyond just surviving in the Premier League after an impressive unbeaten run to start the season. Here are some of your comments: Dominic: Focus needs to be on a confident top-half finish if we are clear of being relegation fodder after Christmas. This will attract even bigger signings next year for a push for European football. Cush: Please note that it's not Hull City fans writing articles about how much they can achieve this season. We jokingly sing about winning the league and we enjoyed mauling Manchester United , but we're all pretty clear that finishing above the bottom three is the only aim. John: It's not as though you can say they haven't played anyone yet. Ask Manchester United and Chelsea . Chris: Chelsea and Aston Villa both had excellent chances to score and - possibly - beat Hull City. The big positive for me was against Chelsea was that Hull City had the chances to kill the game, and with some more coaching and clinical finishing those chances will be taken. That is progress. Add this progress to the undeniable strength of the team, their spirit and on and off-pitch leadership, and you have a recipe to succeed. Success comes in many forms; we have already seen supporters of the teams we played being positive about Hull. Now let's see pundits give Hull City the respect they deserve. Steve: I'm a long-standing Hull City supporter and I think we've got a long, long way to go this season to start thinking beyond Premier League survival. It won't be long before coaches in this league suss out our style of play and come up with ways to counter it. Against Villa, we were very lucky and on any other day would have shipped at least three goals. Yes, it's a fantastic start and yes, we do have a superb team spirit. I expect us to finish in the bottom six but not the bottom three.
